Treatment methods
Dr Dygut conducts primarily minimally invasive regenerative and reconstruction interventionist procedures using percutaneous techniques controlled by ultrasound, i.e. dry needling, incisions, scarification, breaking up adhesions, breaking down calcium deposits in tendons and bursas, as well as injecting platelet-rich plasma into joint capsules with degenerative changes and into inflamed bursas and tendon sheaths. The aim of this approach is to accelerate healing process and stop inflammation when treating patients with pain and limited flexibility of joints and extra-articular tissue. Very good results are obtained when treating arthritis and post-traumatic dysfunctions of: pectoral girdle, elbow joint, small hand joints, wrist, hip joint and the hip area, knee joint, lumbar spine, ankle joint and foot.
